The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the 1907 film How Brown Saw the Baseball Game, about a very drunk man watching a baseball game, used trick photography to show players running in reverse?
Current status: Featured article

Admission price disputed

[edit]

The article contains the line:

The price to view How Brown Saw the Baseball Game was $38.50.

According to the Inflation Calculator, "What cost $38.50 in 1908 would cost $969.04 in 2012." [1]. Surely, there is an error.- Gilliam (talk) 08:51, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... The source does say 38.50, but I've removed it as it could be an error that doesn't make much sense. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 11:58, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed it meant that this was the price the cinema was charged for a copy of the movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.146.140.195 (talk) 11:59, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good call to remove the (albeit sourced) fact that seemed dubious without supporting context.- Gilliam (talk) 05:58, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
